WOOSTER— Wayne Insurance Group will be offering a 15% credit to personal auto policyholders on two months of their policy premium. Once regulatory approval has been granted, personal auto policyholders who are active on the close of business May 31, 2020 will receive a billing credit on their next invoice. A check will be issued to those who already have paid in full unless the next renewal is within 45 days. No additional action is required from policyholders to receive this credit.

"We know the actions taken to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus have caused financial hardship for many in Ohio," said Tim Suppes, president and CEO at Wayne Insurance Group, in a prepared statement. "Since we are all staying home more and off the roads, the reduction in accidents allows us to take this action and pass these savings on to our policyholders. We felt this was the right thing to do for our policyholders at this time."

As an Ohio-based mutual insurer writing business only in Ohio, Wayne Insurance Group and its employees are dedicated to giving back to local communities. To provide support in this time of need, the company will be donating an additional 20% above and beyond this personal auto credit to several area healthcare and service organizations and to foodbanks around the state of Ohio.

In addition, the company emphasizes that those financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic can contact customer service at 800-222-3873 to discuss payment options.

The Wayne Insurance Group companies have offered property and casualty insurance to Ohio residents for more than 100 years. Headquartered in Wooster, the group markets its products and services exclusively through a statewide network of independent agencies.
